RED MENACE [Another NY Times Fake Story?]

New York Post ^ | January 30, 2004 | Page Six

THE Internet is buzzing with skepticism over last week's New York Times Sunday Magazine cover story, "Sex Slaves on Main Street," which claimed that tens of thousands of girls from Mexico and Eastern Europe have been smuggled into the United States to work as sex slaves. While some readers question reporter Peter Landesman's figures, he lost our trust when he reported that "prostitution barely existed 12 years ago in the Soviet Union" - a howler that made it hard to believe anything else in the story. In 1991, PAGE SIX spent a long evening in a Moscow nightclub called Night Flight that was packed with call girls. But Landesman quoted a professor of women's studies at the University of Rhode Island who explained why Russia was supposedly whore-free under Communism: "All of the women had jobs."

THE Internet is buzzing ... and we have an obligation to add a few decibels.

[Mears]

As a woman I never trust a professor of women's studies,ever.They just spout "facts" in order to justify their existence.

[OldFriend]

The author of the Times piece was a guest on John Batchelor's late night show on WABC. The conclusion by the author that it was all President Bush's fault, and of course, Batchelor concurred.

As with most of the left, they rarely let the truth get in their way, and blaming the President is just par for the course.

The professor obviously is a socialist. He would prefer that all of us become whores to the elite fascists that would arise to force us into socialism.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

These people love humanity but hate mankind.

LOL! Another Liberal hallucination! Too Funny! And this idiot actually printed this quote! Aboslutely, freakin' hilarious - especially because it made it past the sleeping NYT editors.

"There are more slaves today than were seized from Africa in four centuries of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The modern commerce in humans rivals illegal drug trafficking in its global reach—and in the destruction of lives." [National Geographic -- September, 2003]

"THE Internet is buzzing with skepticism over last week's New York Times Sunday Magazine cover story, "Sex Slaves on Main Street," which claimed that tens of thousands of girls from Mexico and Eastern Europe have been smuggled into the United States to work as sex slaves."

Then surely hundreds must have been found by law enforcement so far.

Where are the police reports?

How are their services advertised?

Gimme a break. What a load of dookie.

Having visited Moscow in the 1970s I can assure you the major international hotels were equipped with hookers.

But Landesman quoted a professor of women's studies at the University of Rhode Island who explained why Russia was supposedly whore-free under Communism: "All of the women had jobs."

I'm reminded of the Soviets explanation of why in Western cities the shops, unlike those in the USSR, were full of goods for sale: The workers in the west couldn't afford to buy the goods therefore they piled up in shops.

...spent a long evening in a Moscow nightclub called Night Flight that was packed with call girls.

How do I get a job to be this guy's research assistant?

[American_Centurion]

Can't possibly be true. If it were, The Impeached Bent One would have had at least 3 in the White House.

[kingu]

Huh. Mexico and Eastern European hookers being smuggled in? Well, err, duh? Doing the same from Asia too.

There are just some jobs that not even Americans will do. And I'll leave it at that, because anything extra would be too much information and just get the post deleted. :)

My aunt, to my never ending shame, is a professor of women's studies at Gonzaga U. We frequently e-mail, and since she is an ultra lib, we usually are debating. You wouldn't believe how often she makes up phony statistics to support her point of view. This appears to be a common trait for this breed.

"...The workers in the west couldn't afford to buy the goods therefore they piled up in shops..."

Hilarious! I've never heard that one before. But then, you have to be pretty gullible to become a commie to begin with, don't you?

Yes,they are something aren't they,these "women's studies" crowd.I don't know how I,as a woman, made it through life without help from these scholars.

I'm from a generation where men were men and women were women and frankly I liked it.My own middle aged daughters certainly don't agree with me but,although some things weren't available for women in those days,I felt protected,respected,and cared for.

Now that I've posted my thoughts on the subject I seem like a dinosaur,but so be it.
